LAKE SURVEY NAUTICAL CHARTS: THE INFLUENCE OF TRADITION By Deborah Ann Johnson A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Geography 1982 ABSTRACT U. S. LAKE SURVEY NAUTICAL CHARTS: THE INFLUENCE OF TRADITION 133’ Deborah Ann Johnson Tradition has had a great influence on cartography. Conventional map symbols have developed over many centuries to improve the uniformity and utility of cartographic communication, especially for reference maps. This study examines the influence of tradition on the cartographic deveIOpment of the nautical charts of the Great Lakes produced by the U. S. Lake Survey from 18M to 1970. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thoroughly enjoyed my graduate studies in cartography at Michigan State University, thanks to many people. Dr. Richard Groop provided valuable assistance on my thesis and cartographic studies, and managed to make cartography not only interesting but entertaining, due in part to his somewhat peculiar and jaded sense of humor. Mike Lipsey made production cartography very enjoyable and worthwhile, and working at the Cartography Center with Mike and other assorted cartographers was one of the best experiences I've had at M. S. U. Also deserving a note of appreciation are Dr. "Chip" Dipp and Professor G. Hbssifats ("Jump on In"), probably the most respected and reknowned scholars in the Geography Department at M. S. U., and the many great friends who made student life most entertaining. Now that I've left the five-foot raccoons of East Lansing behind for farm life on the Great Plains in Loomis, Nebraska, I'm proud to say that I graduated from M. S. U. with an M. A. degree, an M. R. S. degree, and an M. 0. M. degree. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES iv LIST OF FIGURES CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Nautical Chart Symbolization Development of the U. S.

'13A vi CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Tradition has played an important role in cartography, and conventional map symbols have developed over many centuries to provide uniformity, continuity. and simplified cartographic communi- cation. Traditional symbols have been especially useful on general or reference maps such as topographic maps and nautical charts which provide detailed, highly accurate locational information, and many of the symbols used on these maps have become standardized. Traditional symbols have also been developed for thematic maps such as population maps which portray spatial distributions and relationships; but convention has been less important, and inno- vative and imaginative symbolism has often been used to create unusual thematic maps. The role of tradition in cartography is particularly evident in the development of nautical charts. Nautical charts have been used for centuries to aid mariners in determining courses and positions at sea. As early as the sixteenth century EurOpean chartmakers introduced standard symbols to represent safe anchorage, buoys, and submerged rocks. Nautical charts kept pace with advances in navigation and cartography, but conventional symbols were preferred and the only major changes in their development were greater accuracy and improved map legibility. This study examines the influence of tradition on the 1 2 cartographic development of the nautical charts of the Great Lakes published by the U. S. Lake Survey over a span of more than 125 years. The earliest Lake Survey charts were black and white litho- graphic prints produced in the mid-nineteenth century with cumbersome printing methods and unsophisticated surveying equipment (Figure 1), while most recent charts are'color prints produced on modern offset presses and compiled from data obtained with echo sounding, electronic positioning, and aerial photography (Figure 2).

    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

S. waters of the Great Lakes and sport fishing is limited. Canada allows commercial harvest from Ontario waters of Lake Huron only. Lake sturgeon is considered threatened or endangered by 19 of the 20 states within its original range in the U.S. Lake sturgeon abundance was reduced dramatically in the late 1800’s by commercial overfishing and habitat degradation. The life history characteristics of lake sturgeon, late maturity and infrequent spawning after maturity, prevent populations from rebounding quickly after such catastrophes. Fishery agencies are providing training and equipment to commercial fishers for data collection from lake sturgeon.

This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory.
